Intellectual dishonesty

 People of the book have not only renounced their faculties of reason and negated their capacities for logic but they have sacrificed basic human empathy on the alter of their faith...their hearts have been surrendered and their minds have been subdued by an arbitrary authority...you simply cannot reason with unreasonable people... A difference of perception is perceived as an attack... you are either for or against...right or wrong...Either/Or... all of these false dualities, dichotomies and delusions form an impenetrable wall with bricks baked with presuppositions and presuppositions...pointing out the contradictions of their conclusions and the inconsistencies of their convictions is futile... Any evidence against their baseless assumptions is promptly dismissed with prejudice prior to investigation... they are invested in the narrative that they imagine or have been persuaded to believe... at the end of the day, most people believe what they want... the truth is insubstantial to the majority... they like to believe what makes them feel good about themselves. And they are entitled to their beliefs and convictions, their opinions,delusions and even their prejudices...they can have them all...they have every right to hold them as far as I'm concerned just as long as they mind their own fukn business.

People that are intellectually dishonest enough to avoid the cognitive dissonance that would be predicated by the objective examination of their faith are likely to be dishonest about anything.


"The Devil's Lettuce"

 If you were God, and you created all these plants to feed and medicate your children...and they instead turned to witch-doctors to concoct some concoction to ease their aches and pains and such... what would you think of these ungrateful peasants if they started calling one of your precious flowers "The Devils lettuce"? Like God made all these plants but this one here this one is evil...Who are you to pass judgment on a plant that grows out of "God's" green earth? The Devil is the Destroyer but he got to create one plant somehow? "The Devils Lettuce"... if you were God, how would you feel about some self-righteous, hairless monkey ascribing the creation of a magical plant that you created to your arch-enemy?
